INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY:
Before beginning installation, be sure to set the parking brake and chock the wheels.
NOTES:
To ease installation and properly adjust the bar, the weight of the vehicle must be on the suspension as if
driving down the road. Do not raise the vehicle by the frame.
This kit requires drilling the frame rail and possible relocation of fuel and brake lines. Installer must ensure
that the sway bar kit does not interfere with any other components or present any clearance issues.
ENDLINK MOUNTING OPTIONS:
There are two mounting options for each frame type. The severe service option must be used in any high
performance application.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Lubricate the inside bore of the D-shaped bushings using the
supplied poly lube.
2. Place a bushing onto each short straight length of the anti-
roll bar, close to the outside bend.
3. Raise the anti-roll bar into position along the rearend housing
to gauge were the U-bolts and axle brackets must be
installed. Anti-roll bar arms must point toward the front of the
vehicle.
4. Hang the U-bolts over the axle tube so that the threads are
pointing straight down. Brake lines, wires, or hoses will be
routed over the top of the U-bolt.
5. Place the axle-clamp brackets onto the U-bolts until they
seat against the axle tubes.
6. Place the bushing-clamp brackets over the D-shaped anti-
roll-bar bushings and raise the bar to seat the at part of the
bushing against the axle bracket.
7. Loosely secure the assembly with at washers and locknuts.
8. Position the anti-roll bar on axle so that it clears all frame
mounted components
including fuel tanks,
brake lines, fuel lines,
etc. The clamps can
be rotated or shifted to
maximize clearance.

9. Fully lubricate the endlink bushings and sleeves
before assembly.
10. Assemble the endlinks by inserting the bushings
into the end loops and then installing the sleeves
into the bushings.
11. Install the 9/16” nut on the male endlink half before
assembling the two components together.
12. Attach the endlinks to the center hole of the anti-
roll bar using a 7/16-20 x 2-3/4” bolt and at
washers. The bar arms should be level and the
endlinks perpendicular to the ground. The center
hole position is used at this time to determine the
location of the hole in the frame rail. The endlink
will be moved to the forward hole prior to initial use.
13. When satised with the location of the bar and
endlinks, mark the hole locations of the endlinks on
the inside of the frame rail. The link length can be
adjusted for best t.

14. Prepare to jack up vehicle by placing wheel chocks on the front wheels.
15. After the rear of the vehicle has been raised, support frame on jack stands and remove the rear wheels.
16. Transfer the inner hole location to outer edge of frame rail. A piece of cardboard can be used by marking
the location of the hole on the cardboard and transferring the location to the outer rail. Drawing a line on
the frame square to the frame rails will keep the inner and outer hole locations square.
17. Review endlink mounting detail
and conrm t before drilling holes.
BEFORE DRILLING ANY HOLES
IN THE RAIL, RELOCATE AND/
OR PROTECT ANY FUEL
OR BRAKE LINES THAT
MAY INTERFERE WITH THE
DRILL BIT OR SWAY BAR
INSTALLATION.
18. Drill a 15/32” (.468) hole through
BOTH walls of the frame. Make
sure holes are square to one
another when drilling holes. It is
easiest to drill through the outer
wall rst and use a transfer punch
to mark location on inner wall of
frame.
19. Drill an 11/16” (.688) hole through
OUTER wall of frame ONLY. A step
drill works well for this application.
Do not use a hole saw as the hole
must be a close t to the spacer
tube. Remove undercoating where
large washer contacts outer frame.

20. From the inside of frame rail, insert a 7/16 x 4-1/2”
bolt through the driver-side rail.
21. Insert spacer tube from outside of rail and check t.
The spacer tube should sit ush.
22. Install the large washer over the spacer tube.
23. Check that the spacer tube is at least 1/32” below the
surface of the large washer.
24. Cut, le or grind the end of the spacer tube to achieve
proper length. Failure to do this will result in insufcient
preload and noise.

Severe Duty Endlink Mounting
25. For severe duty it is recommended that the
spacer tube be welded to the outer frame
wall.
IMPORTANT: Prior to welding, ensure
that all hazards (fuel, electrical, etc) are
eliminated and that fuel tanks, fuel lines,
brake lines, wiring, etc. are not affected by
the welding operation.
26. Remove bolt and spacer from inside of
frame rail.
27. Attach endlink to frame as shown in severe
service graphic.
Applications with welded spacer do not
require the washers on the outboard wall of
the frame.
28. Torque endlink bolts to 35-40 ft-lb.
29. Move the lower endlink to the forward-most
hole in the sway bar, tighten the endlink
bolts and torque to 35-40 ft-lb.
30. Replace rear wheels and torque lug nuts
to factory specication. Lower vehicle so
that the full weight of the vehicle is on the
suspension.
31. Tighten axle U-bolts, torque to 35 ft-lb.
32. Bounce the vehicle checking for clearance
on all under carriage components: fuel tank,
shocks, exhaust, differential, brake and
fuel lines, etc. Test drive the vehicle and
recheck all clearances and the installation
alignment. Adjust as needed. Re-check your
installation after one week of driving and
periodically on a regular basis.
33. The sway bar has three endlink mounting
holes. The endlink MUST be mounted on
the forward-most hole for initial use. For a
rmer setting, use the center or rear holes.
You must use the forward-most mounting
hole, until you are accustomed to the
vehicles new handling characteristics. After
driving vehicle, a rmer setting may be
selected if desired. It is recommended that
the outer hole be used for street driving.
